Marketing Derby wanted to create a mobile app that would support Derby’s thriving food and drink industry long after the annual food and drink awards had finished.

So in conjunction with Bondholder Silver Pride, Derby’s premium app builders, Marketing Derby set about doing just that.

John Forkin, managing director of Marketing Derby said: “With the food and drink scene in the city changing and improving year on year, we spoke to Silver Pride about launching a new app to help the diners in Derby have a much easier way to choose where the would like to dine.

Silver Pride came to us with some fantastic suggestions for the app and they have pu t a great deal of thought and research into adding useful features and making it look great too.
